Police: Man with ski rack on I-93 mistaken for gunman

State police said reports of a man walking on Interstate 93 in Londonderry with an object that resembled a gun turned out to be a driver who was carrying a ski rack.

On Thursday morning, police said they received several reports from drivers about a suspicious man walking in the median with what appeared to be a gun. State police searched the area, but they were not able to locate the man.

Later in the day, state police said they got a call from a man who told them he was made aware of the incident and believed he was the person police were searching for. He explained that his ski rack had fallen off his car and landed in the center median. The man said he parked his car in the breakdown lane and crossed the interstate to retrieve his ski rack.

State police determined that there is no danger to the public in regards to this incident.
